8. 0:30lesson. Friends, in this lesson we
9. 0:36continue to examine the past tense in
10. 0:39English, which is called the past
11. 0:41simple. We're already looking at
12. 0:45another case, when not an ordinary verb
13. 0:48, but when we have a form of the verb "
14. 0:51to be." Here we use "was" or "were."
15. 0:56Yes. "Was" or "was," when do we use "
16. 0:59was"? When "I,""he,""sheet." Look, the
17. 1:06formula is "I,""he,""she,""it was."

58. 5:03English to become a skill, it is
59. 5:06important to practice all the material.
60. 5:09Our app was created precisely for this
61. 5:13purpose, to transfer knowledge from
62. 5:16short-term to long-term memory. There,
63. 5:19every word and construction is
64. 5:21reinforced until it becomes automatic.
65. 5:25Don't put it off, download the app from
66. 5:29the link in the description and feel
67. 5:33how knowledge turns into confidence.
68. 5:38Good. And when should we use were? We
69. 5:45use were when we, you, they, right? We,
70. 5:49you, you, you, they were. We were. We

85. 7:13say it? They were together. They were
86. 7:17They were. Together. They were together
87. 7:24. They were together. Friends, we will
88. 7:28also now look at how to build a more
89. 7:32complex sentence. Watch how we say: "I
90. 7:37think it was better." I think that I
91. 7:42think that I think that it was better.
92. 7:49It was better. I think that it was
93. 7:53better. I think that it was better. How
94. 7:58do we say it? I think it was really
95. 8:02important. I think that I think that I
96. 8:07think that it was it was really
97. 8:12important. Really important. I think
98. 8:16that it was really important. Friends,
99. 8:25you and I should also remember to use
100. 8:30articles where necessary. And we all
101. 8:33remember the general rule. Remember the
102. 8:37non-definite article e or n, if it
103. 8:40follows a singular countable noun, that
104. 8:44is, one that can be counted, right?
105. 8:48Look, the non-definite article e or eh,
106. 8:52if it follows a singular countable noun
107. 8:57. How do we say it? It was a problem.
108. 9:01It was it was. And then there’s the
109. 9:07problem, not just a problem, but, you
110. 9:10see, a noun. In the singular, you can
111. 9:14count there a problem, two problems,
112. 9:17three problems, and so on. We use the
113. 9:20article. A problem. It was a problem.
114. 9:24It was a problem. How do we say it was
115. 9:28a question. It was it was a question.
116. 9:35We say not just a question, but a
117. 9:38question. It was a question. It was a
118. 9:42question. But, of course, there is an
119. 9:46exception. How do we say it? It was my
120. 9:51idea. It was it was. It was my idea too
121. 10:00. We say my. We remember that there's a
122. 10:08pronoun here, a possessive pronoun, and
123. 10:11the article isn't used. You see, "my"
124. 10:15can be translated differently there.
125. 10:17Mine, my, my, my, my, may. It doesn't
126. 10:22matter. You see, the main thing is that
127. 10:24it comes after the pronoun. And the
128. 10:26article isn't used here, so here we
129. 10:29simply speak without an article. My
130. 10:32idea. It was my idea. It was my idea.
131. 10:40And also, look, the article isn't used
132. 10:44when there's a demonstrative pronoun.
133. 10:48What is that? Look, for example, I want
134. 10:51to say, "It was in this lesson." It was
135. 10:56, "it was in this lesson." In this
136. 11:01lesson. It was in this lesson. Here's a
137. 11:06common translation of "this,""this," or
138. 11:11"that"—it's a demonstrative pronoun.
139. 11:15And with these words, the article isn't
140. 11:18used either: "this" or "that."
141. 11:21Accordingly, "it was in this lesson."
142. 11:24It was in this lesson. The article
143. 11:27isn't used; "this" is this. Or, for
144. 11:29example, let's say: "It was in that
145. 11:31lesson, please. It was in that lesson."
146. 11:35It was in that lesson. The article is
147. 11:38also not used here, because there is "
148. 11:40that," right? See? It was in this
149. 11:43lesson or it was in that lesson. We
150. 11:49also remember that the general rule is,
151. 11:53right? that the best is not just best,
152. 11:57but the best. The best, for example,
153. 12:01the best result, we will say best
154. 12:04result. The best result. The best
155. 12:08solution will be like a decision-this
156. 12:11is the word decision. Decision. The
157. 12:15best decision will be the best decision
158. 12:18. The best decision. And what is the
159. 12:21best answer? The answer is ans. We will
160. 12:27say the best answer. The best answer.
161. 12:31Look up useful phrases. The best result
162. 12:35, the best decision, the best. How do
163. 12:43we say, it was the best result. It was.
164. 12:48It was the best result. This phrase is
165. 12:53the best result. It was the best result
166. 12:57. Super. And how do we say it? It was
167. 13:01the best decision. It was. Next, the
168. 13:07best decision will be. The best
169. 13:10decision. It was the best decision. It
170. 13:14was the best decision. And how will it
171. 13:17be? This was the best answer. It was It
172. 13:22was already the answer. The best answer
173. 13:26. It was the best answer. It was the
174. 13:29best answer. We also pay attention to
175. 13:34set phrases with articles. For example,
176. 13:38see? In the morning, in the morning. In
177. 13:41the morning, in the afternoon, in the
178. 13:44afternoon, in the evening, in the
179. 13:47evening, in the evening, in the morning
180. 13:50. In the afternoon, in the evening, how
181. 13:55to say, he was there in the morning. He
182. 14:00was there. He was there in the morning.
183. 14:07He was there in the morning. He was
184. 14:09there in the morning. How do you say it
185. 14:12? It was in the evening. It was it was
186. 14:17in the evening. In the evening. It was
187. 14:22in the evening. It was in the evening.
188. 14:26And how do you say it? I was at home
189. 14:29during the day. I was at home. I was at
190. 14:35home. In the afternoon in the afternoon
191. 14:40. I was at home in the afternoon. I was
192. 14:43at home in the afternoon. People also
193. 14:48often ask when to use good and when
194. 14:53well, yes, when we use good and bad.
195. 14:58Let's see how to say it. It was bad. It
196. 15:05was will be it was. It was. Next, it's
197. 15:11bad. How do you say bad here? Bad or
198. 15:15badly. Remember, we said earlier that
199. 15:19with the form "to be" we use an
200. 15:21adjective, but here we use the form "to
201. 15:24be", a form of the verb "to be". This
202. 15:27means we need to choose an adjective,
203. 15:29that is, bad. It was bad. Yes, you see,
204. 15:34"bad" can be translated as "especially
205. 15:36bad" and also "badly". But here it is "
206. 15:39bad", which is the form "to be". It was
207. 15:42bad. It was bad. Let's say it was
208. 15:48really bad. It was it was really bad.
209. 15:55Really bad. It was really bad. It was
210. 16:01really bad. Yes, by the way, we can
211. 16:05strengthen our thought and say, for
212. 16:07example, it was terrible. For example,
213. 16:10use the word terrible. Terrible, it
214. 16:14will simply be "it was terrible". It
215. 16:18was terrible. It was terrible. We can
216. 16:21also strengthen this thought even more
217. 16:24and say, for example, it was really
218. 16:28terrible. It was it was really. It was
219. 16:35really terribly terrible. It was really
220. 16:40terrible. It was really terrible. Great
221. 16:45. And how do we say it? It was good. It
222. 16:51was it was. It was and so on. Good.
223. 16:57This is good or well. We discussed
224. 17:02earlier that with the form "to be,"
225. 17:05that is, with the form "to be," an
226. 17:08adjective is used. Here, the form "to
227. 17:10be." So, after "ino," it adjectives,
228. 17:12that is, "good." It was good. You see,
229. 17:16in general, "good" can be translated
230. 17:18literally as "good" and also "good." We
231. 17:21say: "It was good." It was good. But
232. 17:27with the verb, specifically "well" is
233. 17:30used. For example, I can say: "You did
234. 17:34it very well." I will say: "You did it
235. 17:39very well." You did it very well. That
236. 17:44is, the verb, you see, "to do,""to do,"
237. 17:46is used specifically "well." Did it
238. 17:49very well. But with the form "to be,"
239. 17:53with the form of the verb "to be,"
240. 17:55specifically, "a," is used, and,
241. 17:57accordingly, "a," precisely as an
242. 17:59adjective. This is an important point.
243. 18:03Yes, by the way, in English they often
244. 18:05say not just "be," but "to be." To be.
245. 18:08To be is precisely the verb "to be." To
246. 18:11be. To means the non-prod form. To be.
247. 18:14Good. How do we say? It was very good.
248. 18:19It was, it was very good. Again, you
249. 18:26see, very, very, and good. Since there
250. 18:30is a form of the verb "to be," it is
251. 18:33simply good. Good. It was very good. It
252. 18:37was very good. Excellent. How can I say
253. 18:41it? It was excellent. Yes, we say it
254. 18:45from the pose "great." Great. Excellent
255. 18:48. And it turns out it was great. It was
256. 18:53great. Let's strengthen our thought and
257. 18:56say: "It was really excellent." Use. It
258. 19:01turns out it was, it was really, really
259. 19:07excellent. Great. It was really great.
260. 19:14It was really great. Yes, in principle,
261. 19:16great. You can use perestatively and
262. 19:20also great. That is, we can say: "It
263. 19:22was great." Let's say, use great. It
264. 19:25was great. It was great. Or,
265. 19:27alternatively, it was really great. Use
266. 19:31great. It was really great. It was
267. 19:35really great. You see, here you can say
268. 19:38differently in Russian. There it was
269. 19:41excellent or it was great, let's say: "
270. 19:44It was great. It was great." Or let's
271. 19:48strengthen our thoughts and say: "It
272. 19:51was really excellent." Or it was really
273. 19:54great. It was really great. It was
274. 19:59really great. How can we say it? It was
275. 20:04great. We use the word wonderful.
276. 20:08Wonderful. It turns out it was
277. 20:12wonderful. It was wonderful. Let's
278. 20:17strengthen our thought and say: "It was
279. 20:20really wonderful. It will turn out it
280. 20:24was really wonderful. It was really
281. 20:28wonderful. Friends, and now we will see
282. 20:32how to form a negation with the verb to
283. 20:36be, that is, the form to be. Here we
284. 20:41use wasn't or w. This is an important
285. 20:45point. Look, if there was a regular
286. 20:48verb, then we used exactly didn't. For
287. 20:53example, there I didn't do it. We will
288. 20:58say: I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Or
289. 21:02, for example, they didn't go there. We
290. 21:06will say: They didn't go there. They
291. 21:10didn't go there. That is, when a
292. 21:12regular verb, the negation was didn't
293. 21:15plus the verb. But if it is the form of
294. 21:19the verb to be, then here the negation
295. 21:22and the question are built differently.
296. 21:26Negation, yes, with wasn't or weren't,
297. 21:31when wasn't. When I, he, she or it,
298. 21:34right? I, he, she, it wasn't. That is,
299. 21:39I wasn't, I was not. Or, accordingly, I
300. 21:43was not. Remember, there was I was, I
301. 21:47was, I was. I wasn't, I wasn't, I
302. 21:53wasn't. He wasn't. He wasn't. She
303. 22:00wasn't. She wasn't. It wasn't. It
304. 22:05wasn't. I wasn't. He wasn't. She wasn't
305. 22:10. It wasn't. How do you say it? I
306. 22:23wasn't busy. I wasn't. I wasn't busy. I
307. 22:35wasn't busy. Again, I want to say that
308. 22:39we use the short form by default,
309. 22:41because that's how native speakers
310. 22:44usually say it in colloquial speech.
311. 22:47But, of course, you can also use the
312. 22:50full form. What is the full form?
313. 22:53Instead of wasn't, was not, was not,
314. 22:57instead of weren't, were not, were not.
315. 23:03You mean the same thing, it can also
316. 23:06happen. We always use the short form.
317. 23:09Wasn't or wen? Let's continue speaking.
318. 23:14How would we say:" I wasn't ready. "I
319. 23:17wasn't. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready.
320. 23:26I wasn't ready. Okay. How do you say it
321. 23:30? I wasn't ready for this. Look, ready
322. 23:35means ready. Ready. But ready for is
323. 23:40the phrase ready for. Ready for doesn't
324. 23:44have the exact for block. Ready for.
325. 23:46Ready for this means ready for it.
326. 23:49Ready for it. Let's say. I wasn't ready
327. 23:53for this. I wasn't. I wasn't ready for
328. 23:57this. Ready for it. I wasn't ready for
329. 24:00it. I wasn't ready for it. How do you
330. 24:04say it? He wasn't alone. He wasn't. He
331. 24:09wasn't alone. He wasn't alone. He
332. 24:16wasn't alone. How do you say it? He
333. 24:19wasn't at home. He wasn't. He wasn't at
334. 24:25home. He wasn't at home. How do you say
335. 24:32it? She wasn't in England last year.
336. 24:37She wasn't. She wasn't in England. In
337. 24:43England. She wasn't in England. Last
338. 24:47year last year. She wasn't in England
339. 24:50last year. She wasn't in England last
340. 24:54year. Okay. How do you say it? It
341. 24:58wasn't effective. Yes, we speak with
342. 25:01negation. It wasn't. It wasn't. Wasn't.
343. 25:06It will be effective. Effective.
344. 25:10Effective. It wasn't effective. It
345. 25:13wasn't effective. How will it be? It
346. 25:17wasn't cheap. It wasn't it wasn't cheap
347. 25:22. Cheap. It wasn't cheap. It wasn't
348. 25:27cheap. How will it be? It wasn't easy.
349. 25:31It wasn't. It wasn't easy. Easy. Easy.
350. 25:38It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy. And how
351. 25:43do we say it? It wasn't good. It wasn't
352. 25:47it wasn't. It wasn't good. After all,
353. 25:53the adjective is used from the form" to
354. 25:54be ". That is, we use conditionally
355. 25:56good. It will be good. It wasn't good.
356. 26:01It wasn't good. Then it's a little more
357. 26:04complicated. How do we say it wasn't so
358. 26:08difficult. Literally, we say it wasn't
359. 26:13so difficult. In English it will be it
360. 26:17wasn't. It wasn't It wasn't So
361. 26:21difficult. So difficult. It wasn't so
362. 26:26difficult. It wasn't so difficult. Okay
363. 26:33. And when do we use wen? Wen't use
364. 26:37when we, you, They, yes, the formula is
365. 26:42we, you, they weren't. We, you, you,
366. 26:47they weren't. It turns out, we weren't.
367. 26:52We weren't. We weren't. You weren't.
368. 26:58You weren't or weren't you? You weren't
369. 27:01. They weren't. They weren't. They were
370. 27:06. We weren't. You weren't. They were.
371. 27:15How do we say? We weren't in that place
372. 27:19. Add phrases. In this place it will be
373. 27:24in this place. In this place. And in
374. 27:28that place this phrase is in that place
375. 27:31. In that place. We say:" We weren't we
376. 27:37wen we wen in that place. In that place
377. 27:44w in that place. We weren't in that
378. 27:48place. "How do we say? We weren't in
379. 27:52the park. In the park this is the
380. 27:55phrase in the park. In the park. We say
381. 27:59:" We weren't. We wen We w in the park.
382. 28:06We weren't in the park. We w in the
383. 28:09park. How do we say? You weren't there.
384. 28:15So, remember that the word there is
385. 28:18placed at the end. Literally in English
386. 28:21we say: "You weren't there, you weren't
387. 28:24." You weren't there there. You were
388. 28:30there. You weren't there. How do you
389. 28:34say it? They weren't hungry. They
390. 28:38weren't they weren't hungry. Hungry.
391. 28:45Hungry. They weren't hungry. They
392. 28:50weren't hungry. Friends, and, of course
393. 28:56, we also shouldn't forget to put
394. 28:59articles where necessary. For example,
395. 29:03how to say it wasn't a mistake. It
396. 29:08wasn't will be it wasn't. It wasn't a
397. 29:14mistake. In general, a mistake will be
398. 29:17steak. Well, you see, singular we can
399. 29:23read there mistake, two mistakes, three
400. 29:27mistakes, f mistakes, five mistakes,
401. 29:31six mistakes, seven mistakes, we put
402. 29:37the article here. The article becomes a
403. 29:40mistake. A mistake. It wasn't a mistake
404. 29:44. It wasn't a mistake. Super. How do we
405. 29:50say it wasn't a problem. It wasn't it
406. 29:55wasn't It wasn't a problem. A problem.
407. 30:02It wasn't a problem. It wasn't a
408. 30:05problem. Okay. Now it's a little more
409. 30:08complicated. How do you say it? It
410. 30:11wasn't a problem. Look, you see, in
411. 30:15Russian we say it was not, it wasn't a
412. 30:19problem, but in English we literally
413. 30:22say it wasn't a problem. That is, in
414. 30:25English here we say exactly like this,
415. 30:26that is, the same way. It wasn't a
416. 30:28problem. It wasn't a problem. Yes, you
417. 30:32see, an important point. In Russian we
418. 30:34can say it wasn't a problem or it
419. 30:38wasn't a problem, but we say it exactly
420. 30:41like this. It wasn't a problem. It
421. 30:45wasn't a problem. Okay, let's
422. 30:48complicate it a little and say: "It
423. 30:51wasn't a problem for me. How do you say
424. 30:54it? It wasn't a problem. It wasn't a
425. 30:58problem. It wasn't a problem." for me.
426. 31:03For me, for me. It wasn't a problem for
427. 31:07me. It wasn't a problem for me. How do
428. 31:13you say it wasn't a joke. It wasn't it
429. 31:18wasn't. It wasn't. A joke is the word
430. 31:23joke. Joke. But, of course, the article
431. 31:26is used here. And we don't just say "
432. 31:28joke," but "a joke." A joke. It wasn't
433. 31:31a joke. It wasn't a joke. It wasn't a
434. 31:35joke. For example, we can say "it
435. 31:38wasn't a joke." I'm serious. That is,
436. 31:41it wasn't a joke. I'm serious. It
437. 31:44wasn't a joke. Ser. Friends, now we'll
438. 31:50also look at how to construct a more
439. 31:53complex sentence. What's the correct
440. 31:55way to say it? I think that it wasn't
441. 31:59the best answer. So, the phrase. I
442. 32:03think by default we say literally "I
443. 32:07think that." I think that, and then "
444. 32:10attention." In Russian we say "it was,"
445. 32:13"no," but in English we say literally "
446. 32:17it wasn't." It wasn't. It wasn't. And
447. 32:21then the phrase, we remember the best
448. 32:23answer. This is the phrase "the best
449. 32:25answer." The best answer. It turns out
450. 32:30we say: "I think that it wasn't the
451. 32:35best answer." I think that it wasn't
452. 32:38the best answer. Okay, how do we say it
453. 32:40? I think it wasn't that important. I
454. 32:47think that I think that I think that
455. 32:51They gave attention. In Russian we say
456. 32:55it was not, but literally in English we
457. 32:58say it was not. That wasn't that it
458. 33:02wasn't. So important. So important. I
459. 33:06think that it wasn't so important. I
460. 33:10think that it wasn't so important.
461. 33:16Friends, now we are moving on to mixed
462. 33:21practice. How do you say it? I was not
463. 33:25at work, I was at home. So, I was not.
464. 33:30I wasn't at work. At work. I wasn't at
465. 33:36work. I was at home. I was at home. I
466. 33:42wasn't at work. I was at home. I wasn't
467. 33:46at work. I was at home. How do you say
468. 33:49it? We were not in the park, we were at
469. 33:52home. We were not. We were in the park.
470. 34:02We weren't in the park. We were at home
471. 34:06. We were at home. We weren't in the
472. 34:10park. We were at home. We were at the
473. 34:14park. We were at home. How do we say he
474. 34:17was not rich. He was very poor. He
475. 34:28wasn't rich. He was very poor. He was
476. 34:34He was very poor. Very poor. Very poor.
477. 34:41He was very poor. He wasn't rich. He
478. 34:45was very poor. He wasn't rich. He was
479. 34:48very poor. Another situation. It wasn't
480. 34:53easy. It was very difficult. You see,
481. 34:58in Russian we say it wasn't, but in
482. 35:03English it wasn't. That is, it wasn't
483. 35:06easy. We will say: "It wasn't easy." It
484. 35:13was, it was very difficult. Very
485. 35:19difficult. The default word is
486. 35:22difficult. It is also possible to say
487. 35:24hard. It was very difficult. It wasn't
488. 35:31easy. It was very difficult. It wasn't
489. 35:34easy. It was very difficult. Another
490. 35:39situation, let's say, it wasn't bad, it
491. 35:42was really terrible. So, it wasn't it
492. 35:47wasn't bad. Bad. It wasn't bad. It was,
493. 35:54it was really terrible. Really terrible
494. 36:01. It was really terrible. It wasn't bad
495. 36:08. It was really terrible. And how do we
496. 36:12say it? It wasn't cheap, it was very
497. 36:16expensive. It wasn't cheap. It wasn't
498. 36:22cheap. It was very expensive. It wasn't
499. 36:25cheap. It was very expensive. It wasn't
500. 36:32cheap. It was very expensive. Friends,
501. 36:44now we will construct a question with
502. 36:48the "to be" form, that is, when the
503. 36:52verb "to be" is in the past tense. How
504. 36:56is the question formed here? Remember,
505. 36:59the first situation: if we have a
506. 37:02regular verb, the question is formed
507. 37:05with "did." For example, did you like
508. 37:09this? I'll ask: Did you like it? Did
509. 37:15you like it? Or, for example, did you
510. 37:19understand this? Question: Did you
511. 37:23understand it? Did you understand it?
512. 37:28You see, there is a regular verb here,
513. 37:31"like,""understand," so the question is
514. 37:33formed with "did." But when the verb "
515. 37:36to be" is in the past tense, the
516. 37:39question is constructed differently.
517. 37:41Instead of "did," the question uses "
518. 37:45was" or "were." When was, when I, he,
519. 37:53she, yes, was, I, he, she, when, were,
520. 37:57when we, you, you, you, you, you, they,
521. 38:02yes, were, we, you, you, you, they.
522. 38:06This is an important point. Very often
523. 38:09we ask questions using the formal "you"
524. 38:12or "you." Then the question will be "
525. 38:16were you?""Were you?" It can be
526. 38:20translated as "you were" or "you were."
527. 38:24Were you? Let's ask: "Were you there?
528. 38:29Were you? Were you?" And there there.
529. 38:36Were you there? You see, this is a
530. 38:39general question. When a general
531. 38:42question, the auxiliary verb comes
532. 38:45first. This is the form of the verb "to
533. 38:47be." Once, then "were." Next comes the
534. 38:51subject in this case, "were you," and
535. 38:53then the rest of the sentence. It turns
536. 38:57out "there." Were you there? Were you
537. 39:01there? And how do we ask? Were you home
538. 39:07yesterday? Were you? You see, in
539. 39:11Russian we say exactly that. "You were,
540. 39:13" but not in English. We say "was you."
541. 39:17Because the form of the verb "to be"
542. 39:19comes first. "Were you?""Were you?"
543. 39:22Were you at home? At home yesterday.
544. 39:28Yesterday. Were you at home yesterday?
545. 39:34Were you at home yesterday? Were you at
546. 39:35home yesterday? Okay. How do we ask,
547. 39:39were you really happy? Were you really
548. 39:47happy? Happy happy. Were you really
549. 39:53happy? Were you really happy? Question.
550. 39:59Were you in the room? Yes, in the room.
551. 40:03This is the phrase "in the room." In
552. 40:06the room. In the room, it turns out,
553. 40:09you were. Were you? in the room.
554. 40:21Another question. Were you in the
555. 40:24kitchen? Yes, in the kitchen, this
556. 40:26phrase is "in the kitchen." In the
557. 40:28kitchen. So, you were. We say, "Were
558. 40:32you?" Were you? In the kitchen. Were
559. 40:38you in the kitchen? You in the kitchen?
560. 40:42Yes, as we remember, we use "was" when
561. 40:46"I, he, she," yes, was, "I, he, she,"
562. 40:50it ate, then we use "was." was he. Was
563. 40:54he. So, the question is. He was right.
564. 40:59He was. Was he? Was he? Right. Was he
565. 41:06right? Was right. How do we ask? He was
566. 41:11in the bathroom? In the bathroom is the
567. 41:14phrase "in the bathroom." He was in the
568. 41:18bathroom. Was he? Was he? In the buff.
569. 41:25Was he in the buff? Was he in the buff?
570. 41:29Okay. If we have "she," then "was"
571. 41:32comes first when asking a general
572. 41:34question, and the formula is "was she."
573. 41:38Was she? Question: Was she busy? Was
574. 41:46she busy? Busy. Was she busy? Was she
575. 41:53busy? How do we ask? Was she in the
576. 41:57kitchen? Was she was she? We recall the
577. 42:03phrase "in the kitchen" and "the
578. 42:05kitchen." In the kitchen. Was in the
579. 42:08kitchen. Was in the kitchen. How do we
580. 42:13ask? Was she in the room? So, she was.
581. 42:18Was it she? Was she? And we recall the
582. 42:23phrase "in the room" is "in the room."
583. 42:26In the room. Was she in the room? Was
584. 42:30she in the room? If we have "it," then
585. 42:33"was" comes first when asking a general
586. 42:36question. The formula is "was it?" Was
587. 42:40it? Was it? Question: It was
588. 42:45interesting. Was it interesting? Was it
589. 42:58interesting? How do we ask, was it
590. 43:03effective? Was it effective? Effective.
591. 43:11Effective. Was it effective? Was it
592. 43:16effective? How will it be? It was
593. 43:19yesterday. Was it yesterday? Yesterday.
594. 43:27Was it yesterday? Was it yesterday? How
595. 43:33do we say it? Question. It was
596. 43:36expensive. Was it it? Expensive. Was it
597. 43:45expensive? Was it expensive? Of course,
598. 43:52we can strengthen our question. For
599. 43:55example, by adding the word really, it
600. 43:59would be like really really really.
601. 44:03Question. It was really expensive. Was
602. 44:09it was it? Next really. Was it really?
603. 44:17Expensive. Was it really expensive? Was
604. 44:21it really expensive? Another question.
605. 44:26It was really important. It was was it
606. 44:32really important. Important. Was it
607. 44:38really important? Was it really
608. 44:42important? How do we ask? Was he really
609. 44:47sure? Was he was he? Really, really,
610. 44:52and confident, using the word sure by
611. 44:56default. Was he really sure? Was he
612. 45:03really sure? Oh, by the way, why do we
613. 45:06say that it is by default, using the
614. 45:08word sure? And if not by default, how
615. 45:10else can we? Maybe someone knows? Look.
616. 45:14Sure. Now this word is used, but you
617. 45:18can also say another word. Yes, you can
618. 45:22use another word, which word is certain
619. 45:26. Certain is also translated as sure.
620. 45:28Sure or sure, or so, and so, that's
621. 45:32right. That is, here you can also ask:
622. 45:35was he really certain? Was he really
623. 45:37certain? Or was he really sure? By
624. 45:41default, we use ine. This is how they
625. 45:44say it more often, but certain is also
626. 45:46used. See, he was really sure. You can,
627. 45:50for example, ask in different ways: was
628. 45:54he really sure? Was he really? How do
629. 46:01we ask? It was really so. Was it really
630. 46:10? Was it really? So, so. Was it really
631. 46:16so? Was it really? Friends, now we will
632. 46:23look at how to ask clarifying questions
633. 46:27with the "to be" form in the past tense
634. 46:30. Look, do we remember or not? The
635. 46:34question will have "or not." Or not.
636. 46:39Not. So, the question. Was it
637. 46:42interesting or not? It was interesting.
638. 46:48Was it interesting? Was it interesting
639. 46:54or not? Was it interesting or not? Was
640. 46:59it interesting or not? Another question
641. 47:04. Was it good or not? It was, was it
642. 47:10good. An adjective is used with the
643. 47:14form, so we use good. Was it good or
644. 47:18not? Or not. Was it good or not? Was it
645. 47:24good or not? Okay. How do we ask, was
646. 47:29it right or not? It was right. Was it
647. 47:34right or not? Or not. Was it right or
648. 47:38not? Was it right or not? How do we ask
649. 47:43, was it expensive or not? Was it
650. 47:48expensive or not? Was it expensive or
651. 47:53not? Friends, it is also very important
652. 48:00to remember to put articles where
653. 48:03necessary. Let's repeat it again. Look,
654. 48:07the formula for the non-bronze article
655. 48:12is "eh" if there is a singular noun
656. 48:17followed by a countable noun, yes, e,
657. 48:22or n, and then a singular countable
658. 48:27noun. How do we ask, was it a question?
659. 48:32Was it, was it? And then not just a
660. 48:36question, but a question. Was it a
661. 48:39question? Was it a question? How do we
662. 48:45ask? Was it a mistake? Was it was it? A
663. 48:52mistake is not just a mistake, we say a
664. 48:55mistake. Was it a mistake? Was it a
665. 49:00mistake? It's also important to
666. 49:03remember set phrases and expressions.
667. 49:06Remember, in English, "best" is "the
668. 49:10best." The best. And set phrases. The
669. 49:15best choice is "the best choice." The
670. 49:21best choice. The best solution. The
671. 49:25best decision. The best decision. The
672. 49:28best price. The best price. This is
673. 49:32omitted. You see the phrases "the best
674. 49:35choice,""the best decision," and "the
675. 49:38best price." So, the question is: Was
676. 49:44it the best choice? Was it? The best
677. 49:53choice. The best choice. Was it the
678. 49:56best choice? Next question: Was it the
679. 50:01best decision. Was it? The best
680. 50:07decision. The best decision. Was it the
681. 50:11best decision? Was it the best decision
682. 50:15? How do we ask? It was the best price.
683. 50:21Was it the best price? Was it the best
684. 50:27price? Friends, we will also now look
685. 50:32at different questions and answers. How
686. 50:36do we ask? Were you at home? Were you
687. 50:43at home? Were you at home? Next, we
688. 50:49will give a short answer and say: "Yes,
689. 50:52I was." Yes, I was. If no, the short
690. 50:58answer is No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't.
691. 51:05You see, the short answers to were you
692. 51:10are yes, I, was or no, I wasn't.
693. 51:15Alternatively, we can say: "No, I was
694. 51:17at work." No, I was at work. No, I was
695. 51:22at work. So, were you at home? Yes, I
696. 51:30was. No, I wasn't. No, I was at work.
697. 51:38Another situation. Question: Was he
698. 51:42right? Was he right? Was he right? And
699. 51:48we will give the short answers. Yes.
700. 51:52Yes, he was. Yes, he was. No. No, he
701. 51:59wasn't. No, he wasn't. Friends, listen
702. 52:03again. Listen again. Listen again. Was
703. 52:09he right? Yes, he was. No, he wasn't.
704. 52:16Another situation. Question: Was it the
705. 52:20best decision. Was it the best decision
706. 52:30? Was it the best decision? And we will
707. 52:39say: "Of course, we can say, of course.
708. 52:43Of course." How else? We can say, of
709. 52:47course, we remember. We can say, look,
710. 52:50how certainly. Certainly, certainly, of
711. 52:55course, or certainly, or also, of
712. 52:58course, there is another frequently
713. 53:02used phrase, this is sure, sure, sure.
714. 53:06It is used very often, especially in
715. 53:08colloquial English. Sure. Yes, of
716. 53:10course. Of course, certainly. Sure.
717. 53:16Sure. Or, alternatively, let's say, not
718. 53:19really. Not really. Not really. Not
719. 53:23really. Listen again. Was it the best
720. 53:27decision? Of course. Certainly. Sure,
721. 53:33not really. Another situation. Question
722. 53:38. It was very expensive. It was, it was
723. 53:44very expensive. Really expensive. Was
724. 53:49it really expensive? Yes, so. Yes, we
725. 53:55can just say briefly. Yes, so expensive
726. 53:58. This will be Yes, so expensive. Yes,
727. 54:02so expensive. Or, alternatively, give a
728. 54:06full answer. Yes, it was so expensive.
729. 54:09This will be Yes, it was so expensive.
730. 54:13Yes, it was so expensive. Let's say: "
731. 54:18No, it was cheap." No, it was cheap. No
732. 54:24, it was cheap. Listen again. Was it
733. 54:29really expensive? Yes, so expensive.
734. 54:35Yes, it was so expensive. No, it was
735. 54:41cheap. Another situation. How to ask,
736. 54:47was it good or not? Was it good? Good.
737. 54:57Was it good or not? Or not. Was it good
738. 55:03or not? Was it good or not? Let's say
739. 55:08it was wonderful. Let's say from the
740. 55:11word wonderful. It was wonderful. It
741. 55:16was wonderful. Or, as an alternative,
742. 55:18say from the pose great. It was great.
743. 55:22It was great. How will it be? It was
744. 55:27not very good. See, it was not spoken
745. 55:31in Russian, but in English it was not
746. 55:34literally. It wasn't. It wasn't very
747. 55:36good. Very good. It wasn't very good.
748. 55:40It wasn't very good. Listen again. Was
749. 55:49it good or not? It was wonderful. It
750. 55:55was great. It wasn't very good. Friends
751. 56:01, now we will figure out how to ask a
752. 56:04special question in the past simple
753. 56:06tense, when exactly the form of the
754. 56:09verb "to be" is used. Look, the general
755. 56:12formula: first the question word, then
756. 56:16"was" or "were", then the subject, and
757. 56:19then something else. Then comes the
758. 56:23request word, then was or were, then
759. 56:25the subject, and then something else.
760. 56:28Often, the question is addressed to "
761. 56:30you" or "you." In this case, the
762. 56:33specific formula is as follows: the
763. 56:36request word, then "were you," and then
764. 56:39something else, if there is a request
765. 56:42word. Then "were you." How do you ask,
766. 56:46"Where were you yesterday?" Where?
767. 56:50Where? Where? Correct. The non-request
768. 56:54word "where" comes first. Then, in
769. 56:57second place, comes the helping verb.
770. 57:00First, then "were." Then comes the
771. 57:04subject, that is, "Where were you?"
772. 57:07Yesterday. Yesterday. Where were you
773. 57:11yesterday? Where were you yesterday?
774. 57:14And how do we ask, "When were you there
775. 57:18last?" Oh, by the way, the phrase "last
776. 57:23time." Last time. So, the question.
777. 57:27When were you there? Literally, we say,
778. 57:32"Were you, were you, when were you?"
779. 57:37There, when were you there? Last time.
780. 57:41Last time. Last time. You see, it
781. 57:44doesn't translate into English as a
782. 57:46preposition, just the phrase "last time
783. 57:48." When were you there? Last time. When
784. 57:52were you there? Last time. How do you
785. 57:57ask when you were in this city last?
786. 58:01When? When were you? Were you? When
787. 58:07were you? In this city. In this city.
788. 58:12In the city. Last time. Last time. Last
789. 58:15time. So, when were you in the city
790. 58:19last time? When were you in the city
791. 58:23last time? Okay, let's remember once
792. 58:29again when was is used. was was, when I
793. 58:33, he, she, it, that is, here is a
794. 58:35general formula, a simplifying word.
795. 58:38Next is was. Then he, she, or it. And a
796. 58:42further word. Then was, then. Then he,
797. 58:46she, or it. How do you ask why he was
798. 58:51so sad? Why? Why? He was. Literally, we
799. 58:57ask: "Bill he, was he?" Why was he? So
800. 59:02sad. So sad. Why was he so sad? Why was
801. 59:07he so sad? How do we ask where he was
802. 59:12yesterday? Where? Where was? Was he?
803. 59:20Where was he? Yesterday. Yesterday.
804. 59:24Yesterday. Where was he yesterday?
805. 59:28Where was he yesterday? Question: Why
806. 59:33was she so happy? Why? Why? She was.
807. 59:40Was she? Why was she? So happy. So
808. 59:45happy. Why was she so happy? Why was
809. 59:49she so happy? How to ask where it was?
810. 59:56Where? Where was it? You see, the
811. 1:00:01second place is taken by the impossible
812. 1:00:03verb. Therefore, literally, we ask: "
813. 1:00:07Was it it? Where was it? Where was it?"
814. 1:00:11Another question: when was it? When?
815. 1:00:16When? When was it? But again, you see,
816. 1:00:20at the beginning is the question word
817. 1:00:21when. The second place is taken by the
818. 1:00:24impossible verb, that is, the form of
819. 1:00:26the verb to be, the form was or were.
820. 1:00:29One. This is it, so was it? When was it
821. 1:00:34? When was it? How do we ask why it was
822. 1:00:41so cheap? Why? Why? Why? It was it so
823. 1:00:48cheap? So cheap. Why was it so cheap?
824. 1:00:58Why was it so expensive? Why? Why was
825. 1:01:03it? Was it? Why was it? So expensive.
826. 1:01:12So expensive. Why was it so expensive?
827. 1:01:15Why was it so expensive? How do we ask
828. 1:01:20why it was so important? Why? Why? It
829. 1:01:27was it? Why was it? So important. So
830. 1:01:32important. Why was it so important? Why
831. 1:01:36was it so important? Friends, it's also
832. 1:01:42worth paying special attention to such
833. 1:01:45seemingly not entirely simple food
834. 1:01:49questions. What is meant here? Look,
835. 1:01:52for example, how do we ask, what was
836. 1:01:55there? What is this? What? And how do
837. 1:02:01we say next? There was. We understand
838. 1:02:05that after asking for a word, we need
839. 1:02:08to use a modifier for the verb was or
840. 1:02:11were. And what do we put here? Was or
841. 1:02:14were? After all, there is no subject.
842. 1:02:17Look, an important point. What? by
843. 1:02:21default means it. This means the
844. 1:02:25construction what was. What was and
845. 1:02:29then what? If there is no subject next.
846. 1:02:31What was? That is, we say what was.
847. 1:02:34What was? What was there? There. What
848. 1:02:40was there? What was there? Let's ask
849. 1:02:44what was better. What was? This is the
850. 1:02:50construction What was? What was better?
851. 1:02:56What was better? What was better? And
852. 1:03:00how do we ask who was there? Here, too,
853. 1:03:05the construction is not so simple. Look
854. 1:03:08, who was there. In the first place is
855. 1:03:11the question word, that is, who is it?
856. 1:03:15Who? Next, there was. In the second
857. 1:03:19place is the spologetic verb was or so.
858. 1:03:22And what do we say here? Was or were?
859. 1:03:26Remember, in English, who means she or
860. 1:03:29who. Therefore, the construction who
861. 1:03:32was, if there is no further subject,
862. 1:03:34then the construction who was. Who was
863. 1:03:38who was? Who was? That's why we say
864. 1:03:42there there. Who was there? Who was
865. 1:03:46there? How to ask who was right? Who
866. 1:03:51was? Who was right? Right. Who was
867. 1:03:56right. Who was right. And what will it
868. 1:04:01be? Question. Who was at the party? Oh,
869. 1:04:05by the way, at the party is the phrase
870. 1:04:08at the party. At the party. If used in
871. 1:04:11prг at the party. We ask who was. Who
872. 1:04:16was who was at the party? At the party.
873. 1:04:21Who was at the party? Who was at the
874. 1:04:23party? Friends, we can also use not
875. 1:04:28just question words, but also
876. 1:04:31interrogative constructions. For
877. 1:04:33example, the interrogative construction
878. 1:04:35. What time? What time? What time? So,
879. 1:04:40what time comes first. Let's ask: "What
880. 1:04:44time were you there?" What time? What
881. 1:04:49time? What time? This interrogative
882. 1:04:52construction comes first. Next, "you
883. 1:04:54were." The second place should be "that
884. 1:04:57there should be a smotret." Was. Once,
885. 1:05:01then "were," it turns out, "were you
886. 1:05:04there." What time were you there? What
887. 1:05:10time were you there? How do you ask?
888. 1:05:14What time was it? What time was it?
889. 1:05:17What time was it? Literally, we say: "
890. 1:05:21There was it. Was it? Was it? What time
891. 1:05:25was it? What time was it?" We'll also
892. 1:05:28look at another interrogative
893. 1:05:31construction. This is the construction
894. 1:05:33"how much." How much translates to "how
895. 1:05:36much?" How much? So, let's ask using
896. 1:05:40the verb "to be." How much did it cost?
897. 1:05:45Literally, how much was it? How much?
898. 1:05:50How much? How much was it? But, you see
899. 1:05:54, following the grammar rules, we say:
900. 1:05:57"Was it this, that in second place is
901. 1:06:00the form to be. Was it? So, how much
902. 1:06:04was it? How much was it? How much did
903. 1:06:08it cost? How much was it? How much was
904. 1:06:11it? Here we ask specifically using the
905. 1:06:14form of the verb to be. Okay, but how
906. 1:06:17do we ask? Also using the form of the
907. 1:06:20verb to be. How much did this ticket
908. 1:06:24cost? Literally, we ask how much this
909. 1:06:27ticket was. How much? How much? was was
910. 1:06:33or, after all, the ticket means,
911. 1:06:37therefore. How much was? And how do we
912. 1:06:51ask how much that bag cost? We also ask
913. 1:06:55using the form of the verb to be.
914. 1:06:58Literally, we say how much was that bag
915. 1:07:01? How much? How much was it? Was that
916. 1:07:08bag? That bag. You see, bag means it,
917. 1:07:13so was was that bag? How much was that
918. 1:07:16bag? How much was that bag? Yes, you
919. 1:07:22see what the point is. If we ask how
920. 1:07:25much it cost, if it is a regular verb,
921. 1:07:28then it will be how much did it cost?
922. 1:07:32How much did it cost? With a regular
923. 1:07:35verb in this case, it is precisely did
924. 1:07:37that costs. How How much did it cost?
925. 1:07:40But you can also ask in a different way
926. 1:07:42, using the form. How much did it cost?
927. 1:07:44Literally, how much was it. And in this
928. 1:07:47case, instead of did, we use the form
929. 1:07:50to be. Since it, then. And it turns out
930. 1:07:53, how much was it? How much was it? Yes
931. 1:07:56, we can say, how much did it cost or
932. 1:08:00how much was it? Excellent. Another
933. 1:08:04construction. This is a construction.
934. 1:08:08It is translated as how long. Long. How
935. 1:08:11long? Long. Let's ask:" How long was it
936. 1:08:15? How long? How long was it? Was it?
937. 1:08:21How long was it? "Excellent. And how do
938. 1:08:26you ask how long you were there? How
939. 1:08:29long? You were you were you there. How
940. 1:08:38long were you there? How long were you
941. 1:08:40there? How long were you there? How
942. 1:08:44long was this lesson? How long was this
943. 1:08:47lesson? Hong. What is here? We choose
944. 1:08:55was or then. We look at the subject.
945. 1:08:58This lesson means it, therefore was. We
946. 1:09:03say long was this lesson. How long was
947. 1:09:06this lesson? How long was this lesson?
948. 1:09:10Next, the questions are a little more
949. 1:09:12complicated. What is the correct way to
950. 1:09:15ask how long the meeting was? You see,
951. 1:09:19there is such a point here. At first,
952. 1:09:20everything is simple. How long will it
953. 1:09:23be? N. Next, there was a meeting,
954. 1:09:28meaning it. This is not finalized.
955. 1:09:30Singular" it, "meaning was. How long
956. 1:09:33was it? Next comes the most difficult
957. 1:09:36part: how to say" meeting. "A literal
958. 1:09:38meeting would be" meeting. "Meeting,
959. 1:09:41but here it is simply incorrect to say"
960. 1:09:43meeting. "A meeting is specific. A
961. 1:09:46specific meeting. And since this is the
962. 1:09:49case, it is necessary to use the
963. 1:09:51definite article here, because the
964. 1:09:53meeting is specific, and say not just"
965. 1:09:55meeting, "but" the meeting. "So," the
966. 1:09:58meeting, "how long was the meeting? How
967. 1:10:01long was the meeting? How do we ask how
968. 1:10:04long the concert was? How long was it?
969. 1:10:08How long was it? How long was it? Again
970. 1:10:11, you see, the concert is specific. We
971. 1:10:13don't just say" concert, "not just"
972. 1:10:16concert, "but we use the definite
973. 1:10:18article. The concert, the concert. How
974. 1:10:21long was the concert? How long was the
975. 1:10:24concert? How long was the concert?
976. 1:10:27Friends, there is another, more
977. 1:10:30advanced construction. It is" how "
978. 1:10:33followed by an adjective. How plus an
979. 1:10:36adjective. Look, the question is: How
980. 1:10:41interesting was it? You see, when we
981. 1:10:45ask how much, grammatically we start
982. 1:10:48with how and then the adjective" how "
983. 1:10:51is used here to mean how much.
984. 1:10:54Literally, we are asking how
985. 1:10:56interesting it was. This turns out to
986. 1:11:00be how interesting. How interesting?
987. 1:11:03How interesting was it? Was it? How
988. 1:11:08interesting was it? How interesting was
989. 1:11:12it? How interesting was it? How do we
990. 1:11:16ask how difficult it was? First, we say
991. 1:11:19" difficult, "and then" was it. "How
992. 1:11:22difficult? How difficult was it? That's
993. 1:11:29a different question. How good was it?
994. 1:11:35Literally, how good. How good was it?
995. 1:11:41Was it? How good was it? How good was
996. 1:11:44it? How do we ask how effective it was?
997. 1:11:50Literally, how effective was it? How
998. 1:11:54effective? How effective was it? Was it
999. 1:11:58? How effective was it? How effective
1000. 1:12:02was it? Friends, now we will look at
1001. 1:12:07different questions and answers. So,
1002. 1:12:10the first situation. Question: where
1003. 1:12:12were you? It will be" where were you? "
1004. 1:12:17Where were you? Let's say I was in the
1005. 1:12:21kitchen. I was in the kitchen. Or, for
1006. 1:12:27example, I was at work. I was at work.
1007. 1:12:32I was at work. Let's say I was in the
1008. 1:12:36park. I was in the park. I was in the
1009. 1:12:40park. Or, for example, I was at home. I
1010. 1:12:45was at home. Or for example, we can say
1011. 1:12:51. Or, for example, we can say. I was
1012. 1:12:57there. I was there. I was there. Listen
1013. 1:13:02again. Where were you? I was in the
1014. 1:13:06kitchen. I was at work. I was in the
1015. 1:13:11park. I was at home. I was there.
1016. 1:13:17Another situation. Next, let's ask. Use
1017. 1:13:20the form. How much did it cost?
1018. 1:13:24Literally, how much was it. How much?
1019. 1:13:29How much was it? Was it? How much was
1020. 1:13:33it? Let's say, using the form, it cost
1021. 1:13:38$ 20. Literally, it was $ 20. It was it
1022. 1:13:45was $ 20. It was, it was, or let's say,
1023. 1:13:53" I don't know, it wasn't very
1024. 1:13:57expensive. I don't know. I don't know.
1025. 1:14:02It wasn't, it wasn't. Very expensive.
1026. 1:14:06Very expensive. I don't know. It wasn't
1027. 1:14:10very expensive. I don't know. It wasn't
1028. 1:14:13very expensive. Let's say it was cheap.
1029. 1:14:19It was cheap. Or we'll just use the
1030. 1:14:23phrase 100 dollars. Literally, we say
1031. 1:14:28one hundred dollars. Listen again. How
1032. 1:14:37much was it? It was, I don't know. It
1033. 1:14:46wasn't very expensive. It was cheap.
1034. 1:14:57Another situation is how we ask, how
1035. 1:15:01long was the concert? How long? How
1036. 1:15:05long was it? And remember, the concert
